I'm convinced that someone at TH-cam is a fan of Tom Scott and has been constantly lobbying to keep the API up to date so that this doesn't stop working years later.

[@liamdaly04]

Tom: “The title won’t be exactly right”
The Title: Exactly right
TH-cam: So you think you’re smart do you?

"The title of this video won't be exactly right"
I'm convinced TH-cam just operates on pure spite, because it's been exactly right for over a year now

[@MrSamulai]

It baffles me how seemingly no one seems to understand what Scott meant by saying that. The title is simply identical to the youtube's own viewcount, which doesn't keep track of views in real time, only every minute or so. Which means it isn't accurate, and therefore neither is the title.

[@cupofspiders5830]

[@cupofspiders5830]

What I mean is the TH-cam view count says the last theee digits being 288 but the title says 180

Guess it's more likely to get it right now that the video is years old and doesn't get as many concurrent views all the time.
